I'm trying to figure out how to use quartz oscillators and I created a circuit on a breadboard to get a light to light up once per second but it does not work. I am using a 16 MHz quartz oscillator and two CD4060BE binary counters. The breadboard I am using has columns on both sides for both the power and ground. There are a total of 30 rows split in two so for each row there are five connected slots on the left and another five connected slots on the right. There are four connections from the power supply. Two go into PIN #16 of the two binary counters (right rows #8 and #18). I am connecting a 9 volt battery to power.
I also have a 300 Farad capacitor that connects from the power supply to a quartz oscillator. One pin of the capacitor is in the power supply column and the other pin is in right row #1. A quartz oscillator has its two pins in right row #1 and right row #4. A wire goes from right row #4 to right row #13, which is pin #11 (input) of the first CD4060BE counter. There is a wire on left row #9 (pin #2 of the counter, Q13) going to right row #23, where pin #11 of the second CD4060BE counter is connected. On left row #18, pin #1 (Q12) of the second counter is connected, along with a wire that goes to left row #2. An LED light is connected to left rows #1 and #2. A 6.8 MOhm resistor is connected to left rows #1 and #3, and left row #3 is connected to ground. Pin #8 of both CD4060BE binary counters are connected to ground (left rows #15 and #25).
The last connection from the power supply connects to right row #30, where there is a button connected to rows #28 and #30 (both left and right). Right row #28 has two wires: one connecting to right row #22 (pin #12, reset, of the second counter) and another connecting to right row #12 (pin #12 of the first counter). Right rows #12 and #22 each have a 6.8 MOhm resistor connected to them, which are also connected to rows #16 and #17, respectively. Rows #16 and #17 are connected to ground.
The light never lights up, whether I push the button or not. I built this several months ago based on a diagram I found online, that I cannot find today. What am I doing wrong?
